This is a great lesson for Ortho Reps as well.. "If there are details discussed in the interview regarding compensation, call schedules, etc., it is critical to ask that these expectations are included in the contract. It's a mistake to believe verbal promises will be honored. Also, many physicians today leave their first job after residency within three to five years, so having an exit strategy from the beginning is important. This includes building up a cash reserve, waiting to purchase a home, etc. Remember, too, this is a marathon, not a sprint, so take care of yourself." -Matt Mazurek Ortho Reps... 1️⃣Make sure their promises are in writing... If they aren't in writing they probably have no intention of honoring those promises💡 2️⃣Have an exit strategy... -Your company has an exit strategy for you, you need to have one as well -It means you understand things change and you need to be prepared 3️⃣Your career is a marathon... -Make good long-term decisions -Associate with good people
Excellent advice, Stu.

1yAnother consideration for new reps...Live below your means!...Beware of the Golden Handcuffs. Don't allow your company to control YOUR future just because you keep buying expensive toys. 💰 ⌚ 🚙 🏘
